THIRD TIME WAS NOT A CHARM.....

Caldwell and Kate arrived on Tuesday as reported. However, on Monday, prior to their arrival and the day after our big Blue and Hoo catch CTM and I went offshore fishing again in anticipation of another GREAT fishing day. We caught NOTHING! After the kids arrived on Tuesday and the "first night in town syndrome" we left Marsh Harbour and fished offshore on Wednesday. We caught NOTHING! At the end of our fishing day we went to Hope Town and once again to Hope Town Hideaways where we had stayed with L's and K's. Our dinghy has a hole in it and since we had NO fish for dinner Francis, the dockmaster at Hope Town Hideaways, graciously agreed to take us over to Hope Town for dinner....

Francis picked us up promptly at 9:00 p.m. and we enjoyed a full moon cruise back to Hope Town Hideaways :)

Thursday we were up bright and early in anticipation of another offshore day. It was dead calm. I have seen Bull Shoals Lake much rougher than Lake Atlantic! We fished again HARD all day and again NOTHING! So....we have now fished 3 days in a row offshore and have caught absolutely nothing:( CTM and I agree that this is a record for the Feeding Frenzy I, II, and III and not a record that we want to boast about :( So we didn't have to impose on Francis again we thawed out a package of Grouper and Mutton Snapper that we had in the freezer...compliments of L's and K's...and CTM fried fish on the dock.

This morning we will climb the 101 steps to the top of the Hope Town Lighthouse, check out of Hope Town, and head to Treasure Cay where we plan to spend the afternoon on Coco Beach... because you know how I LOVE the beach :) Tomorrow we will head out to the reef spot just off Treasure Cay where we fished with L's and K's. High tide is at noon tomorrow so we will head out at daylight in order to catch the incoming tide. We plan to move to Green Turtle Cay from our reef spot so will catch you on the flip flop there (internet permitting)!
